Encog is an advanced neural network and bot programming library. It can be used independently either to create neural networks or HTTP bot programs. It also includes classes that combine these two advanced features. It contains classes for Feedforward Neural Networks, Hopfield Neural Networks, and self organizing maps. Training can be accomplished using back-propagation, simulated annealing, and genetic optimization. Additional classes are provided for pruning neural networks. Encog also includes advanced HTTP bot programming features. A multi-threaded spider that can store its workload either in memory on a database is provided. HTML parsing is provided, as well as advanced form and cookie handling.
